[AOEforme]

Pref Party:

I was busy prepping for our own pref party, but made sure to call AOEforme Jr. and calm her down. "I'm fine," she said, "I talked to my Rho Gamma the night of second rounds. I'm sure this will all work out for the best."

Imagine my surprise when we opened up the doors for our Pref Party and there was my sister.

I couldn't even conceal my shock. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. (Real classy, right?)

I pulled her aside quickly. She looked at me with a grin on her face. "I told you I talked to my Rho Gamma." She explained that she had called her Rho Gamma and told her the dilema. Her Rho Gamma was patient, but near the end of the conversation pointed out a fact that was obvious to everyone but the two of us."AOEforme Jr., it sounds like you have already made up your mind."

She dropped out of formal recruitment then and there. She then called the recruitment chair for our chapter and told her she was interested in being contacted about all future informal recruitment events. She went to another informal recruitment event (one that I missed because of darn Organic Chemistry lab) and recieved an invitation to our pref party.

She had kept it a surprise so I didn't try and influence her at all. (Who can blame her? I was terrible!)

She loved pref. "This was the right choice, AOEforme," she said, "I really feel at home here. I hope you all feel I belong, too."
